Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. We do not charge extra for travel to Denby Village. The price comes down to:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Denby Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Bath re-enamelling in Denby Village, done in place
We clean, repair and prime the bath before spraying the new finish. Most of the work, and most of the durability, is in the preparation, so we do not cut corners on it. We are often asked to fix an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and staining under the taps and around the waste, across Victorian roll-tops, pressed steel baths and cast iron baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

- We key the surface and put on a bonding primer.
- Several coats of new finish are sprayed on.
- We leave it to cure, and it’s typically ready the next day.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Common problems we fix in Denby Village
A dull surface stains and holds dirt, and scrubbing it wears it down further. At that stage, resurfacing is the fix.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Worn patches where water runs and sits
- An original cast iron bath that needs restoring
- A bath that stays dull however much you clean it
- A coloured bath you want in white

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- Steel that has corroded right through
- A metal bath with a through crack
- Plumbing leaks, which need a plumber
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Denby Village
- Pressed steel baths
- Acrylic baths
- Basins & shower trays
- Cast iron baths
- Victorian roll-tops
What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths and trays have a thin metal body under the enamel. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.
Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a bath usually involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Re-enamelling takes one technician and generally one day, with the bath ready the following day. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Denby Village
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Denby Village for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
